Join us on April 8th, 2025 for our April Lunch and Learn. This month we will learn about the relationship between oral history and Wisconsin history. Using oral history to study stories, experiences, and events offers opportunities that go beyond traditional written records. This auditory research method can enable the preservation of histories and memories that might otherwise be lost, particularly those of marginalized or underrepresented groups. This program will explore how oral histories have been used to advocate for Wisconsin history and what the future may hold for the methodology’s role in promoting historical awareness and remembrance.
Catherine studied Public History at UW-Whitewater and completed her graduate degree from UW-Milwaukee in 2024. She was introduced to the museum field through historical interpretation at the Wade House Historic Site. Her focus in visitor engagement and public history continued at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum and as a Teaching Assistant for the UW-Milwaukee History Department. She has conducted and transcribed oral histories for the Wisconsin Farms Oral History Project, John Michael Kohler Arts Center, and the Gathering Places Project. Catherine currently works as the Museum Administrative Coordinator at Jewish Museum Milwaukee.
